Where is money made from plastic instead of paper?

Australian dollar bills are not made of paper, but of special plastic. In 1996, Australia was the first country in the world to completely switch to plastic banknotes, and so far Romania, Vietnam, New Zealand, Brunei, Bermuda and Papua New Guinea have followed suit. Another 20 countries issue individual denominations or limited batches of commemorative banknotes from plastic.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Chainsaw with microprocessor 01.02.2014

Husqvarna has developed smart chainsaw technology that adapts the tool to any working conditions.

The AutoTune system for automatic control and power management of the engine is distinguished by the special structure of the carburetor and the presence of a microprocessor in it, which is responsible for the operation of the main systems. Simply put, AutoTune registers and takes into account the operating conditions and mode of operation of the chainsaw: fuel quality, carburetor temperature, engine speed, air filter contamination, etc. The received information is processed by a microprocessor that regulates the carburetor fuel supply, ensures constant high engine performance and prevents overload . Such characteristics allow the efficient use of gasoline vehicles even in extreme weather conditions or with poor quality fuel, Husqvarna notes.

Activation of the system does not require special skills from the user. It occurs automatically when the saw is started. It takes 3 to 5 minutes of work under load to fully scan the source data and adjust the carburetor, after which the tool functions as efficiently as possible. In addition, AutoTune optimizes the performance of the engine during cold start, which prevents it from overloading and further breakdowns.

Another unique feature of AutoTune is the ability to connect to a PC using special software for diagnosing the condition of the saw. A similar operation can be carried out at an authorized Husqvarna dealer for an inspection or repair. The processor built into AutoTune records the history of all the main performance indicators: engine errors, the number of working hours, temperature conditions, etc. Displayed on the screen, this information allows you to accurately determine the causes of possible malfunctions or take preventive measures.

The software allows you to check the correct operation of the sensors themselves used by the system.
